Seismic Safety

The building is built to withstand strong earthquakes and function fully off the
city’s grid in the event of power outage:

The new hospital campus uses buckling-resistant braced frames, a technology that
will give the structure lateral stability in case of an earthquake. This system involves
steel braces that are designed to yield in case of tension or compression, to prevent
the building’s frame from buckling.

Two massive generators will restore power within 10 seconds in the event of a
power outage. Each generator is powerful enough to provide electricity to nearly 3,000
homes. And 34,000 gallons of fuel tanks are on site to power the two generators for
up to four days.

Built for Secure Healing

Mission Bernal is designed to be a smart hospital that uses technologies to speed
healing and protect patients.

All 120 private rooms feature an integrated communications system that allows
patients to talk with their healthcare team, view educational material about their
condition, and watch entertainment.

Automated systems admit visitors and protect newborns.

Real-time data verifies that staff wash hands going in and out of each patient’s
room.

Pneumatic tubes track supplies, which are quickly and securely transported between
floors.

Our goal is to provide remarkable care, remarkably close to your home.
